Green Future with Hydroponic and Vertical Farming

Abstract

The growing urbanization and unsystematic climate conditions cause dramatic changes in many environmental
and food production methods. In this situation, traditional farming faces land scarcity, carbon emissions,
and water shortage. Hydroponics and vertical farming work as an alternative to traditional farming by
minimizing the challenges that were faced in traditional farming. Hydroponic vertical farming collectively
shows advancement in smart farming. This modern cultivation technique is suitable for urban and pre-urban
areas, as it is done indoors with a limited space. In the method of hydroponics, plants are grown in nutrient-rich
water in the absence of soil
